We have never been more prepared than now to harness the power of connectivity to establish global partnerships for language teaching and learning. Over the past two years, people all over the world have come together online and through phone apps to share ideas, stories, research, and art – sometimes leading to unexpected and lasting connections. During this interactive session, we’ll share our understanding of global citizenship education and how it can foster unique opportunities for language learning, teacher development, and positive social change. We’ll explore opportunities to develop virtual exchanges that engage learners, student teachers, and teacher educators through project-based learning, with a focus on the social issues they care most about in the world. Practical ideas for implementation, complete with activities using a range of multimodal platforms, will be presented.
